Thread: Melee Mitigation 1-3

what do these DO exactly, any equations?
Damage Mitigation is a defence against attacks that you get at various points on an Elite Combat Profession tree (eg. Pistoleer ). With Pistoleer you get Ranged Damage Mitigation (as opposed to Melee).
Damage mitigation doesn't reduce the TOTAL damage done to you -- it reduces the RANGE of damage that can be done to you. What does that mean? Well let's take an example:
Someone shoots you with a weapon that has 50-300 damage (50 is the minimum damage that can be done and 300 is the maximum). With no damage mitigation the damage done to you can be anywhere between 50 and 300 points.
With damage mitigation it reduces the RANGE of damage.
Here's the breakdown:
mitigation1 (Techniques I) limits damage to 80% of the range (20% reduction)
mitigation2 (Techniques II) limits damage to 60% of the range (40% reduction)
mitigation3 (Master Pistoleer) limits damage to 40% of the range (60% reduction)
So let's take that example:
Instead of 50 to 300 damage,
With mitigation1 the damage done to you is reduced to between 50 and 250.
With mitigation2 the damage done to you is reduced to between 50 and 200.
With mitigation3 the damage done to you is reduced to between 50 and 150.
The flipside to this means that Minimum Damage is now much more important than before, so your favorite weapon (your 60-500 Krayt modified pistol) might not be so good anymore.
